Ballets

• Caravaggio, a two-act ballet by Mauro Bigonzetti. Moretti wrote the score based on several works by Claudio Monteverdi. Moretti's interpretation was reviewed as "light ... then darker and always varied in texture ... romanticized Monteverdi, but it fits the stage action perfectly."
• Don Giovanni Emozioni di un Mito, for Il Balletto di Toscana
• Comoedia, for Aterballetto

• Vespro
• In Vento
• Oltremare
